GameStop will honor Duke Nukem Forever preorders, no matter how old

Have you been clutching onto your Duke Nukem Forever preorder since the Clinton administration? GameStop is about to reward your obsessive record keeping.

GameStop began taking preorders in 1997 under the impression the game would release within, oh, a decade or so. GamePro asked if the retailer would honor those initial transactions in light of the game’s lengthy development cycle.

GameStop will and will even give those customers the “Duke’s Big Package” preorder bonus. That includes an in-game EGO boost, a Big Head mode and some T-shirts to wear in game.

Wi-Fi iPad available April 3, 3G preorders begin Mrach 12, 2010

Apple’s newest device, the iPad, has some new news about it.

Apple announced that the Wi-Fi models will be available to the American public on Saturday, April 3, 2010.

As for the Wi-Fi+3G models, those will be available for purchase in late April. For either version of the device you will be able to pre-order the iPad from Apple’s online store starting Friday, March 12, 2010.

Now the question is, will the minimum $499 cost be something justifiable for the public?

Sure, Apple does have a history of putting out some pretty solid devices, especially in terms of computers. This is important to note as the iPad is more a computer than a regular device like the iPhone or iPod. That being said, it’s essentially touchscreen netbook with more options, capabilities and a considerably smaller, thinner and lighter design. It also does have considerably better battery life than most portable computers.
